🛒 Ingredients

• 1 fully cooked, spiral-sliced ham (6–8 lbs)
• 2–3 crisp apples (such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji), thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard (optional, for texture)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for warmth)
• Cloves (optional, for studding the ham)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat the oven

Set your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the ham in a large roasting pan lined with foil for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the glaze

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard (if using), brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and cinnamon. Stir and simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened, then remove from heat.

3. Stuff the ham

Gently separate the spiral slices of the ham. Insert thin slices of apple between several layers, spacing them evenly throughout the ham. Be careful not to tear the slices apart.

4. Glaze and bake

Brush the entire ham generously with the honey mustard glaze, reserving some for later. Cover the ham loosely with foil and bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the size (10-12 minutes per pound).

5. Baste and finish

During the last 20 minutes of baking, remove the foil and brush the ham with the remaining glaze. Let the edges caramelize slightly and the apples soften.
